As the way of living and earning changes, together with urban growth, the way of garden structure and choice of plant species is drastically changed. Owners of countryside family farms try to maintain traditional values of their area and present them to their guests. Lack of knowledge, understanding of local tradition or importance of home gardening often results with poor/trashy exterior decoration. Country family farm Kezele is located in village of Šumećani and is full of old wooden houses, restored for the purpose of tourism and cultural preservation. For the purpose of full and quality restoration, it is also important to restore original home garden, understand how they looked like in the past, to properly select and plant traditional plants and organize other elements of traditional garden like pathways, fences, garden gates and furniture. In my work I will cover plant species traditionally used in country gardens in Šumećani area, catalogue plant species from Kezele estate and surrounding gardens and finally, proposal will be given for choice of gardening plants for Kezele estate in line with the tradition of local area. By searching through old archive materials and interviewing local people, it is going to be determined which plant species were native in past in Šumećani home garden. Plant species from researched Kezele estate werw catalogued, and with help of literature their taxonomy nomenclature, origin and purpose of cultivation were determined. From conducted research, one can see that traditional country gardens are dissapearing, as a result of urbanisation and aging population. The most common plant species are Vitis vinifera L., Rosa sp., Viola x wittrokiana Gams., Primula vulgaris L., Malus domestica L. i Juglans regia L.. In all gardens and on Kezele estate the most common is family Rosaceae and it's decorative varieties are dominating in all gardens.
